Pntente Sept. I;

their correct position Without the nifl of any seconda ry securing means.

Another object of this invention is the production of an insulator which is proridlcd. withA n plurality of passogewnys which nre adapted to easily receive the Wires for retaining the same in their correct position.

ll/'ith these and other objects in view, this inrez'ation consists in genernl of certain comhinotions',ifonstrnrtimis iinil arrangements of Wirte, :is vill he hereinafter fully described :rnil Claimed in the :iiizfrolnponying drawings, Figure l e elevation of the insulator. Fig. 2 e elevetiml of the seine, n portion of the insulator being Shown in section. Fig. 3 is :i section taken on the. line 3f-3, Fig. l, looking upwardly, Fig. 4 is @section tzr-ken on tho line 3-2ll. Fig. l, looking down- {e-rizig to the accompanying drawings ninnernls, 1 indicates the insulator body having (he usual threaded pocket 2 for the reception of tho nsnal snpporting pins \-.hero y the in'snlnior will esupporteil. 'lhe oppor portion. ofthis body l is pro riilcd with n slot 3 and n plurality of possnges 4. Those passages 4 are formed so as to communicate with the slot 3 und diverge townid thcir outer portions. The support ing` rr se of the insulator formed ndjaont the slot 21 is bowed so as to extend downwardly towzurfl its outer portion :is infliln order to ret-:iin the wires (l Within the. passage@ 4, there is provide-il n' plurality of oepenning lips 7 whioli nre adapted to overhang the wires. When this (le fico is 11Sed,n wire may beeasily place-d within the slot 3,4m, which time it may he moved to one e. .so as to rest within two of the'pnsenff... il. Silicio the wire rests upon the bowed portion I. there will be 'formed a, binding on which will come the Wire to lzvnr :igen n peil: of lips for holding the sume within the passages. A. Wire may then be placed oo ns to rest Within the remnii'iing passages, .i'horchy the two wires necessary for formingl n circuit may he easily carried hy one insulator; since the some are pro vided with snit-sible insulation, there will not 'ne any (langer of causing a Short Circuit.

From the foregoing description, it Will be soon that n simple insulator. has heen pro' vided whoh will efficiently retain n pair of conductor wires Without the iidV of second- :xrif securing menne. l

Al-loving thus described n'iy invention, \,vhat is clziiniorl :is new is:-- l

An insulator comprising a body5 said body provided contiguous itsupper portion with un enlergoel L :moverse slot,snicl body' provided with e.; air of (liver-ging passages adjacent enoh'oncl nortion of said slot, integral lips formed noon said body at the outer por tions of aid slot and posso Flos, the .sides of sniil oocy at lower portion of ooi-l slot being ,mriillol i' ir central por ion, said slot lining il t.) receive or nini to allow to pz ontwordiy through L. "nfl he heid .in saiiti lower parnileL por tion of Sido wnls adapted to form n binding engagementwith the wires thereby lirnily holding the wires within sii-id slot,

In testimony whereof hereunto alix my signature in prescnee of two witnesses.
